Materials Data on CrCoSi by Materials Project
CoCrSi crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Cr2+ is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Si4- atoms. There are a spread of Cr–Si bond distances ranging from 2.44–2.55 Å. Co2+ is bonded to four equivalent Si4- atoms to form a mixture of corner and edge-sharing CoSi4 tetrahedra. There are a spread of Co–Si bond distances ranging from 2.23–2.26 Å. Si4- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to five equivalent Cr2+ and four equivalent Co2+ atoms.
